    I just recently heard about chia seeds and what a good source of energy they are. Has anyone here ever used them, and if so how have you used them?

    Yep. I would buy it in bulk. Stay away from Mila, its an expensive pyramid scheme. But chia made eveything in the body feel great. I could focus better, less headaches. Physically felt so good. But I would mix it into yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies and it obsorbs everthing becoming a gelatinous muck. So, gross texture but doesn't really have a flavor. Sometimes it was just easier to down it in a cup of water...

    I've had a tablespoon sitting in 8 ounces of water for 1 1/2 hours and it hasn't turned into a gelatin yet, and I'm wondering what went wrong.

    Yeah I think thats why I would put it in water. I dont recall it turning to muck.

    It just isn't absorbing the water like it's supposed to. Would I still get the benefits if I consumed it anyway?

    It's ok. I don't mind it in yogurt. I never noticed a difference, but then again I didn;t eat it regularly.
